What is Ranch handled? Well it's what happens when the tractor gets parked too close to a box of books or a stack of books falls off the trailer. Honestly I'm amused at the ways we end up with "Ranch Handled" books. 
These books are slightly damaged (a bent cover here, folded page there, etc.) but in readable condition. We are not checking every page, but I promise you won't receive one that isn't readable.
